Blocking Age-Based Ratings and Content Themes
You can automatically block all program ratings or content above a
specified age-based rating level using the V-Chip TV Rating Limit screen.
Refer to the chart at the beginning of this section to learn about each age-
based rating and its associated content ratings.
• To block all programs above a certain rating level: Highlight
the Rating field, then scroll through the ratings using the CHAN^/v
buttons until the lowest unacceptable rating is highlighted. Then use
the VOL > button to highlight the Rating Status field and select Block.
• To block all programs with specific content above a certain
rating level: Content Themes are specific to the rating level.
Therefore, you must first highlight the Rating field and scroll through
the ratings using the CHAN ^/v buttons until the lowest rating
associated with the type of content you want to block is highlighted.
Then highlight the Content Theme Status field and change the V to B
under the appropriate Content Theme.
Viewing Age-Based Ratings and Content Themes
After you have blocked age-based ratings and content themes, you have the
option of selectively changing some of the ratings and themes back to View.
• To view ratings: Use the VOL >/< buttons to highlight the Rating
Field, then use CHAN ^/v to change its status from Block to View.
When you change a specific rating to View, the Content Status fields
corresponding to the unblocked rating become View as well.
• To view content: Highlight the Rating field, then use CHAN ^ /v to
find the rating whose Content Theme settings you want to change.
Next, highlight the Content Theme Status that you want to change
using the VOL > button; then use CHAN ^/v to change it to V.
